Swat the Fly Campaign Urges Home Pest Control
Fy Swatting Tine Scientists, physically and newspa pers have again launched the annual campaign against the venomous fly, and we gladly jot in the battle against the little giants. We cannor expect to rid the country or city flies, but we can take active steps in reducing their number and warding off the dangers which attend their visits to the home. Above all, every home should be rid of these pests, for they are a menace as well as a nuisance in any household. Disease and filth lurks on every portion of the fly's body and as a carrier of corruption the fly has no peer. Another practical way to eliminate the pest is to keep the yard and home surroundings free from a refuse, of such nature that affords feed and breeding places for them. Many of our people fail to realize the danger in having these insects around, but it has been proven repeatedly that many deaths and much sickness are readily traced to the fly so it behooves all to Swat the Fly.
